What are you doing to pick out XC checkpoints now that the ground
is covered with snow and everything looks different?


They all look the same to my LORAN.


Some checkpoints are easier to find if the snow isn't brand new and the
snow ploughs have been out. Roads stand out really well against the
white.

The interesting thing I thought about flying through a snow shower was
how the "Hyperspace effect" snow appeared to be coming from a point just
below the nose.
